PREFACE

Teachers of forge work generally supply their own course of instructionand arrange the exercises for practice. The necessary explanations andinformation are given orally, and hence often with very unsatisfactoryresults, as the average student is not able to retain all the essentialpoints of the course. It was the desire to put this instruction in somepermanent form for the use of forge students that led the author toundertake this work.

The author wishes to express his thanks for the advice andencouragement of his fellow-teachers, Dr. H. C. Peterson, Mr. FrankA. Fucik, and Mr. Richard Hartenberg. Special obligations are due toMr. Charles F. Moore, Head of the Mechanical Department in the CentralCommercial and Manual Training High School of Newark, New Jersey, forhis valuable editorial service.
